Blanket Exercise Thank You!
February 26, 2025
Thank you to all who organized, led and participated in this past Sunday's (Feb 23rd) Blanket Excercise
Thank you, miigwech, to everyone who joined us on Sunday for the Kairos Blanket Exercise. This was an important step on our journey to learning more about the history of this land we call Canada through the eyes and lived experiences of Indigenous Peoples.
On behalf of the congregation, the ReconciliAction Working Group wants to express our gratitude to Jolene Commanda for the delicious Indigenous feast ahead of the workshop and to John Henri and Julien Commanda for their facilitation expertise and guidance.
We sincerely hope that you found the exercise insightful and useful in your personal journeys of reconciliation.
One of the great spiritual questions is this:
What do we see when we look at other people?
Do we see strangers or neighbours? Problems or possibilities? Labels or beloved children of God?
The answer matters, because what we see shapes how we live.
